There is another problem for all you Xperts. In my Xtoolkit 
program I have a callback function. This function forks in
the middle, where the parent returns, while the child keeps
on doing some work. The child calls XAllocColor at some point,
but XAllocColor never returns. Can anybody care to explain
why could XAllocColor choose to hang? Is there any way around it?
